Well, I didn't get around to posting my other bit of news from Easter, so I suppose I should also do that, since I have yet to re-make a facebook account so this seems to be my main form of communication with folk ( Read more... )

So it's been 4+ months since my last post. Better let you know I'm all still alive.

First off, things got hectic around March when I was let go from my job because they were reorganizing. Boo!

Ack. Where does the time go to? Well, I said I'd do a normal entry, but I haven't yet. See, as I'm sitting at a computer all day writing things, going home then writing things at the computer is rather low on my priority list ( Read more... )

For work stuff, I'll just summarize and say: Still need a real job, been working as a research-helper type unofficially. I replayed  through the first three Commander Keen games when someone mentioned it and I finally ( Read more... )

Tier 2: Kiki's Delivery Service, ( Read more... )

ALA Swag
So, I had a badge to get into the exhibitors hall because that's where all the free stuff is given away. Lots of books (though apparently not as many as at mid-winter ( Read more... )

Well, update time. (Here comes number nine ( Read more... )
